I'm actually fiending for a four door Nissan Frontier with 265hp V6, 6sp tranny and Nismo suspension. But I could rock a ridgeline, with the right rim package.

i would never put 20's on a car. i'm going to get the green one and some nice 18"bronze or gold wheels would look sweet. volk's maybe? also arithmitic if the titan fit it would be in my garage but my wife can't see selling a house for a bigger garage. even though i beg to differ.

the ridgeline is the worst CAR on the road (maybe the bmw X-3 is worse). If you don't want a truck that can perform like a truck, then why buy a truck?! It's like rice for rednecks. Sorry, obviously this is just my opinion, but the ridgeline can't perform like a real truck in towing, offroad, or performance (no honda's v-6 doesn't touch the chevy or dodge fullsize v-8's) and it's too big and ugly to be a good car, so it's neither a useful truck nor a good car. But, if you like saying you own a truck without actually needing one- Rock it. Oh yeah, if no one knows if it has bluetooth, then it doesn't have it.

Don't get me wrong, I love Chevy trucks, i still wear my chevy shirts a lot, but i am saddened to see that the japanese trucks have lept past them in quality. i won't mention how many times my truck went in for service
I do agree with ya someways....i think the titan is awesome looking never driven one though maybe illl have to check it out.......and true japanese are moving up and over american cars

i would get the tundra simply becasue i would want to actually go off road in it. also most people dont buy a truck or suv for what it is made for. people are so afraid of scuffing up their bed liner or spilling some dirt in their suv. im like why did u buy a truck/suv if u dont want to use it for what it is. people tell me why im putting concrete bags and wood in my lexus, im like its a suv, why was a SUV made for??? then they ask me why i go offroading(only minor offroading nothing extreme) im like its fun and thats what an suv is made for. anyways i see people who wouldnt go off the raod even thogh they got hummer h2's. people are idiots but to each his own.


as a side note, it saddens me to see so many people endorsing the honda slogen, "it's a honda"

ridgeline = 4x4 honda accord.

just wait and see. it wont be long before honda see's americans only drive trucks with v8's in them period. toyota had to find that out the hard way. honda will find out eventually.

better yet, you'd be better off getting a honda accord, I believe they tow the same amount.
